Su-30

The Sukhoi Su-30 (Russian: Сухой Су-30, NATO reporting name: Flanker-C) is a twin-engine, two-seat military aircraft developed by Russia's Sukhoi Aviation Corporation. It is a multirole fighter for all-weather, air-to-air and air-to-surface deep interdiction missions. The Su-30 appears in Battlefield 2 as a strike fighter for the People's Liberation Army.

Like its counterparts, it has an armament made to take out soft targets and armored vehicles on the ground (five high-drag bombs and sixteen air-to-ground missiles) rather than for dogfighting (only four heat-seeking missiles compared to a fighter jet's six).

The Su-30 should be used to support ground troops by bombing concentrations of enemy ground forces. Another player that controls laser-guided missiles for destroying ground armor can enter the Su-30, further improving its anti-surface capabilities.

Like other fixed-wing aircraft, the Su-30 is a considerable threat to helicopters, as a short, well-aimed burst of cannon fire or two air-to-air missiles will destroy it, coupled with the aircraft's speed. It is most recommended to fire a burst of cannon fire on the first attack, as the opposing helicopter may have flares ready, which can be used to cause air-to-air missiles to miss the target.
